Chapter 263: Night Encounter
The eldest princess Peixi was said by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and she suddenly reacted that Lin Jue was still there, and quickly changed her words and said, "Yes, yes, the queen mother is right, I almost forgot about my anger, Yun Shu is still here, our topic today is mainly Yun Shu." β
Hearing her say this, Lin Jue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, the theme was about her? What's going to be played here?
"Yun Shu, you also know, this time with you, they are all show girls who were elected to enter the palace......"
Empress Dowager Xiao spoke slowly.
"Don't you think it's a little strange why the mourners want you to live with these people?"
Lin Jue nodded.
She's not weird, she's just weird.
"The Queen Mother wants you to be a true royalβ"
Seeing that Lin Jue was still confused, the eldest princess Peixi explained with a smile.
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment.
Then he realized that something was wrong with her words.
Real royal ......
What kind of concept is this?
What does it mean to be real? Could it be ...... No way?
Thinking of this, Lin Jue replied stubbornly, "Yun Shu doesn't know ...... very well."
Seeing her somewhat shy appearance, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but explain with a smile, "You heard Pei'er say nonsense, every year when the show girl enters the palace, we will invite Mr. to teach all kinds of coursework...... However, the most important thing is to come and talk to the mourners often. β
Hearing Empress Dowager Xiao say this, Lin Jue was really relieved.
Scared to death.
Sure enough, she thought too much about herself.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
After Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, she pulled Lin Jue for a while, and then let her return to Chuxiu Palace.
"Queen Mother, why don't we tell Yun Shu directly about our plans?"
After Lin Jue left, the eldest princess Peixi asked the Empress Dowager Xiao with some puzzlement.
The emperor inexplicably ordered the revocation of Lin Jue's title of county lord, which was a royal mistreatment to her, and after thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xiao still felt a little sorry for Lin Jue.
happened to meet the triennial draft, so I thought about letting Lin Jue join in. With her appearance, there is no way for the concubine, and it is more than enough to be a prince's side concubine. can't be the county lord, if she can be a prince's side concubine, it can be regarded as a disguised compensation for her.
"You think people are like you?"
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her with some disgust.
"The little girl's family is thin-skinned, you say this in front of others, how do you want people to answer you?"
The eldest princess Peixi knew that she was wrong, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, "But Queen Mother, if I'm not mistaken, Yun Shu is 17 this year, right?" β
At the age of seventeen, he is still in the boudoir, which is indeed a bit old.
"Alas......"
Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Didn't they all delay that Nangong Yi?"
If it weren't for the early marriage with Nangong Yi, maybe Lin Jue would even have a child now.
"I think the sixth child still has a good impression of her, and the two of them are also compatible, but unfortunately, there is that woman in the ......"
The eldest princess Peixi was thoughtful.
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her and smiled faintly, "She doesn't have the power to decide who the sixth concubine is." β

The Imperial Study.
Emperor Zhaoyang's front was full of folds from all over the place, and he had just picked it up and looked at it a few times, when suddenly a black figure broke in.
"Done?"
The Emperor continued to look at the fold in his hand, and asked without raising his head.
"Almost. Just wait for the majesty to close the net. β
Nangong Yi stood there in a dark black night suit and replied lightly.
"I don't want to close the net yet."
Emperor Zhaoyang said while writing a comment on the fold with a royal pen.
Nangong Yi didn't speak again.
Anyway, he has already done things according to what the emperor said, and as for when he will close the net and when he will do it to those people, this is not what he cares about. What he's concerned about now isβ
"Why did the Queen Mother summon Lin Jue into the palace?" Nangong Yi asked.
That's what he's concerned about now.
"I probably think that I have revoked her title of county lord, and the royal family is ashamed of her, and the queen mother wants to make up for it, right?"
"Living with those show girls?"
The emperor's answer was too general, and Nangong Yi didn't believe it so easily. There are so many ways to make up for it, why did you choose to let her enter the palace, and she still entered the palace to be with that group of show girls. This kind of practice makes it impossible for others to doubt it.
"You don't have to worry, I have already revoked her title as the county lord, and what I promised you, I will naturally do it."
Emperor Zhaoyang put the fold in his hand to the side and raised his head to look at him.
The person in front of him is resolute and cold-blooded, and even his own life can be sacrificed in order to achieve his goal. It's a pity that, just like him back then, such a cold-blooded person still can't get out of a love word.
In fact, Li Dehai is right, Nangong Yi is really similar to him back then, and even his feelings for the person he loves are exactly the same.
"Then I'll go first."
The matter has been done, there is no point in staying here any longer, while it is still dawn, he still wants to go to Chuxiu Palace to meet Lin Jue.
When Emperor Zhaoyang heard Nangong Yi say that he was leaving, he couldn't help but have a dark look in his eyes, this bastard boy, every time he is like this, he looks like he is doing business, and he will die if he stays and says a few more words?
Obviously, he wanted him to stay longer than anyone else, but Emperor Zhaoyang's face still had a cold look, "Okay, you can step back first." β
Looking at the awkwardness of these two people, Li Dehai on the side couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart, why bother, these two people, such a temperament, no one believes that they are not father and son!

Empress Dowager Xiao chatted for a long time, and when Lin Jue returned to Chuxiu Palace, it was already time to turn off the lights.
Hua Wu, who was in the same room, had already lay down, and when she heard movement, she got up from the bed again.
"You're back?"
Seeing Lin Jue, she asked in a low voice.
"I'm sorry for the noise." , Lin Jue smiled a little apologetically.
"I didn't make any noise, I just lay down." Hua Wu replied with a smile, and then all her eyes fell on Lin Jue, "It's so late, I thought the Queen Mother would leave you to spend the night in Ci'an Palace......"
This afternoon, after Lin Jue left, this group of girls got together and chatted for a long time, and after expressing their views and exchanging experiences, the final result was that no matter whether Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan Lin Jue went to chat or talk about business, it showed that the relationship between the two of them was not ordinary.
As soon as such a conclusion came out, everyone suddenly felt a sense of crisis, especially those little ladies who wanted to seek something in the palace, and they felt even more pressured. So everyone unanimously decided to let Hua Wu, who lived with Lin Jue, come to inquire about the news at night, find out the situation, and see what was going on.
"Where is there such a truth, the Queen Mother is a precious body, and where is Ci'an Palace where a small person like me can live."
Lin Jue said half-jokingly.
She was a little unhappy with Hua Wu's behavior of having to listen to her privacy every time. Everyone has their own space, and they are not too familiar, so what's the deal with blindly listening to other people's things like this?
"But the Queen Mother announced that Sister Xuan alone entered the palace......"
"Is there a flower art class tomorrow?"
Seeing that Hua Wu was still pulling her down and asking reluctantly, Lin Jue quickly changed the topic.
"Well, yes, I heard that the person who came to teach tomorrow was the one who taught the eldest princess Peixi back then-"
"Then you have to listen carefully." Lin Jue looked at her with a smile, "There is class tomorrow, let's rest early." I'm going to change my clothes......"
With that, no matter what expression Hua Wu made on her face, she walked out.
The place where they bathed and changed clothes was separated from their house by a small garden, the night was dark, the whole Chuxiu Palace was quiet, Lin Jue was holding clothes in his hand, the night breeze was blowing, the heat of the day dissipated a lot, and he suddenly felt very comfortable.
was walking, suddenly I didn't know what was mixed under my feet, the center of gravity of the whole person was unstable, and he rushed straight forward, Lin Jue frowned a little depressedly, this place is full of bluestone pavement, this pounce, it must be a dog gnawing mud, this fall is a dog gnawing mud, her face will definitely be bruised, her face will be bruised, and she will not have to go to tomorrow's flower art class......
Hey, when you think about it, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.
But before she could fall to the ground, she crashed into a ...... Uh, slightly warm in the arms.
A slightly playful chuckle came from above his head.
Lin Jue was instantly alert, because judging from the voice, the other party was a man! And, most importantly, it's not the eunuchs and fathers-in-law who are often encountered in the palace!
Thinking of this, Lin Jue quickly broke free from that embrace, took a few steps back, and then raised his head, barely seeing the other party's face clearly by the faint light-
a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold hand; dark and deep eyes, glowing with a charming color; The eyebrows and eyes are thick, the nose bridge is high, and the lips are beautiful.
"It's not good for a girl's house to walk around without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Lin Jue hadn't even spoken, but the other party sued the wicked first.
"This is Chuxiu Palace, I'm normal here."
Even in the middle of the night, that's normal. On the contrary, you are a big man, and you appear here in the middle of the night, what is the matter?
"Are you the show girl who entered the palace this time?"
The other party seemed a little surprised.
But Lin Jue didn't understand why he was surprised. This is Chuxiu Palace, will there be anyone else who appears here besides the show girl?
"It's not."
Lin Jue lightly squeezed out two words, turned around and planned to leave.
Originally, according to common sense, a man appeared in the Chuxiu Palace, which was full of women, and she should have screamed, at least she had to tell others. But after thinking about it, I gave up, and now the relationship in this palace is complicated, what if the other party has an unfathomable identity background? She still didn't want to go on this troubled water.
"And who are you?"
The other party was obviously interested in her.
"The palace maid? Or Mama? β
When asked about the back, there was a hint of banter in the words.
